Mia Theresa Quiaoit-Corpus, also known as Mia Corpus, is a Filipino mediator and conflict-resolution practitioner whose work has focused on alternative dispute resolution, company-community dialogue, grievance redress mechanisms, and conflict-sensitive development.[1] She has worked with government agencies, international development institutions, companies, communities, workers, and other stakeholders on conflict resolution and dispute-resolution processes.[1]
Career
[edit]Corpus has worked in mediation and dialogue in the Philippines since 2004. She has served as executive director of the Conflict Resolution Group Foundation, a Philippine non-governmental organization working in mediation and dialogue.[1]
Her professional work has included mediation, dialogue facilitation, conflict coaching, and consultation on alternative dispute resolution programs. The Consensus Building Institute lists Corpus among its practitioners and describes her work as including consultation with government agencies and international organizations, as well as conflict-resolution work involving companies, communities, labor, and shareholders.[1]
Company-community dialogue
[edit]Corpus has participated in international discussions and practice concerning company-community dispute resolution.
At the United Nations Forum on Business and Human Rights, Corpus participated as an independent mediator in a session on innovative approaches to company-community dispute resolution in complex environments.[2]
An account of the session published by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights described Corpus's approach to company-community dialogue, including the importance of trust and accountability, attention to the cultural and historical context of conflict, community participation, and addressing intra-community conflict before negotiations with companies.[3]
Corpus also contributed to a UN Forum discussion on effective company-level grievance mechanisms. In an OHCHR account of the session, she discussed challenges encountered in company-community dialogue and the need for institutional capacity and trained professionals capable of facilitating dialogue toward rights-compatible and interest-based solutions.[4]
Business and peacebuilding research
[edit]Corpus has contributed to research examining the relationship between business and peacebuilding.
With Sarah Cechvala of CDA Collaborative Learning Projects, she conducted field research in the Philippines for a case study of Unifrutti-Tropical Philippines Inc. and its La Frutera operation. The research team spent 20 days conducting fieldwork in Manila, Davao, Paglas, Wao, and Cotabato and consulted company representatives, communities, government officials, civil-society organizations, religious leaders, international organizations, and other stakeholders.[5]
The resulting case study, The Best Fertilizer of the Land Is the Footprints of Its Leaders: Business and Peace Case Study: Unifrutti-Tropical Philippines Inc.—La Frutera Operation, was published by CDA Collaborative Learning Projects in 2017.[5] It was subsequently included among the publications produced by CDA's Business and Peace research project.[6]
Grievance redress mechanisms
[edit]Corpus has worked on grievance redress mechanisms associated with international development and climate-finance institutions.
In 2020, she served as a regional co-facilitator for Asia and the Pacific in capacity-building programs of the Green Climate Fund's Independent Redress Mechanism (IRM). The workshops addressed the principles and operation of grievance redress mechanisms, case resolution, problem-solving, and compliance review.[7]
In 2024, Corpus conducted interactive sessions for an IRM virtual training program for GCF Direct Access Entities in Latin America, the Caribbean, Asia, and the Pacific. The Green Climate Fund described her as having experience in conflict resolution, coaching, and program management and as having previously worked with accountability mechanisms of the Green Climate Fund, Asian Development Bank, and International Finance Corporation.[8]
In 2025, Corpus was an IRM consultant and one of the facilitators of a regional workshop in Hanoi, Vietnam, involving more than 40 participants from GCF Direct Access Entities and civil-society organizations. The workshop focused on grievance redress mechanisms and GCF integrity policies.[9]
